Whatever works for you :) Like someone else above me also said though, Verizon reps are horrible.. I think out of all the ones I've spoken to, only one remotely knew what he was talking about. Everyone else was completely clueless.. in any case though, I know several people with S3's; while they're all happy with their phones, none of their phones lasts as long as my DNA. This is with my usage being significantly heavier than any of theirs; my battery usually lasts 1.3x-1.5x as long as theirs does. Again though, it's your call, and good luck!
[HTC Droid DNA] vdChild:
You let her sell u on the Samsung... lol..

That is NOT normal battery life and her reasons made me lol..
[HTC Droid DNA] harecurtis:
I thought ide re visit my post to see whats up.

and I can honestly say I love both phones equally now

I mean the S3 ive had all day, and it seems to have a really strong battery

I agree, i usually dont listen to verizon reps (except one guy, but he found a better job) BUT i knew the S3 is the "phone of the year" and millions of people say its a good phone, so i decided to go with samsung for this upgrade.

but i gotta say, i miss my sense....I just hope htc trims a little more fat for sense 5 or 5.5 for when I come back in a few months

but as an owner of both phones...I would recommend the both of them....im sure my DNA was just a dud but i decided to just jump on the samsung bandwaggon for this upgrade and come back to the htc side, and take my rightful place as a fanboy
[HTC Droid DNA] Galinha1:
I bought my first and second HTC last week.

I have an iPhone 5 and the GS 3.

Now i got the HTC 8x and Droid DNA. Must say that the 8X i cannot use as my main/everyday phone. But the Droid DNA is fine, i am missing some battery related things, like, battery charge time, and the swappable battery . I have 2 extras for the GS3. Well, i don't think i'll go back to GS3 , so i sold it real cheap to a friend. And that micro usb cover sucks when i charge in my car , at home i have a wireless charger, i'll buy another one to use in my office. Well, i am getting familiar with the Droid DNA, and i think i will stay with it until the galaxy S4 comes out.
[HTC Droid DNA] deathrow1992:
Sorry guys but I can't see the comparison between this and the s3. In the store both the DNA and the s3 were the same price and just looking at the specs of both phones it's pretty obvious that the DNA is better.

And the battery life on this phone just blows my mind. Light to moderate use and I get two days out of it easily. Moderate to heavy use and I still get through the day with it. I mean what more do you guys want? This is a phone that's going to be able to sit comfortably with the phones being rolled out this year. The s3 won't....
[HTC Droid DNA] harecurtis:
The S3 may be a high end dual core and the DNA being a "low end Quad Core" (first Gen LTE quad core) to me the performance from the dna showed minimal gains compared to the S3...yes I know quadrant scores for the DNA or more than likely higher than the S3, but for I use my phone for the S3 is suffice and will get me through until the next HTC phone is out and until my other line has an upgrade.

my only complaint with S3 is build quality, I feel like the kids toy company "fisher price" made it.....

but when it comes to battery life and others....it performs well

but at heart, im an htc fanboy, that went samsung for an upgrade just to try it out
[HTC Droid DNA] Bigandrewgold:
Sorry, but the DNA us far from a low end quad-core. That would be the tegra 3. The DNA has the most powerful processor in any current phone and it shows. Games fly and loading times are minimal.
[HTC Droid DNA] harecurtis:
it may be the most powerful for the time being....but its still technically a "first Gen Quad core" and withing 3-6 months you will see quads that make the Dna look bad

case and point....the rezound has an s3 processor...it was pretty badass when the razr was announced and it was prolly the best dual core processor available....but then the s4 chip came out with the krait GPU and next thing you know the s3 chip is outdated because the s4 performs better.

so yes the DNA is a powerhouse ( i wont disagree with that) BUT for a quad core phone, its still in the first GEN catagory, if you dont beleive me...just wait 6 months and compare the HTC DNA to the next batch of Quad core phones, and youll see the quad cores evolve

but no the DNA is prolly one of the best on the market right now, so im NOT bashing it...just stating that its a first gen quad core and there will be much better quad cores to come
[HTC Droid DNA] Bigandrewgold:
Yes. Technology advances. If you always wait for the next big thing than you will never buy anything. In 6 months there will be processors that are better than the DNA's( although they won't blow it out of the water, we are getting to the point of diminishing returns as far as power goes), but when those devices come out then people will start talking about the next line of processors that put the the 'new' ones to shame. Then once those even newer ones come out then people will be talking about the next generation.
[HTC Droid DNA] harecurtis:
Ya I catch your drift.

all im saying is to me (with my use, which is texting, surfing web, playing words with friends, email, and google currents) the performance boost isnt much for how I use the phones.

and im sure a 20 core phone would work the same way a dual core phone does for me, with what little processing power the apps i use take up I prolly wouldnt notice much

and no im not saying a dual core is the same as a 20 core or whatever :p
[HTC Droid DNA] RLGL:
For all Battery life is fabulous with this device, auto brightness is not the key. The SECRET is turn off auto-sync and turn it on when needed. the syc is fast enough for me. During a typical day I make several calls, 2 hours screen time browsing and several text messages.

My battery life is pretty good right now, lasting about 15 hours on stock, much better than the Sensation I came from

As for the rom that opinions are divided. Depends on what you prefer... You have to test it.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joho5:
In have both a htc one x and a nexus 4, which i just got. First off I'll start saying I absolutely love the nexus 4, everything about it.

I also know that benchmarking doesn't really apply to an everyday user and has no signification in the grand scheme of things.

With that said why does the one x that's dual core and less ram outperform the nexus 4 that's quad core (same clock speed) and 2 gigs of ram.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danillll:
As you mentioned, Benchmark apps don't really do justice for multiple reasons.. not custom for particular android version.. device kernel - OS is not polished yet (which is the case in nexus 4) etc...

There is a benchmark thread around that shows nexus 4 smoking every device , which in my opinion not true but at least you see the discrepancy

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1967843

Anyhow, if you are new , I suggest to install a custom kernel and ROM to enjoy the device to the max ( I use franco and CM 10.1 and I love it) and don't worry about numbers as long as you enjoy the experience.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ksavai:
You cant compare two different device by benchmark I totally agree for that but can we trust and compare relatively for the same device and android version for two different ROM/kernel?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
youre doing it wrong
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danillll:
Hi,

I'm currently on CM10.1 and Franco Kernel.

I started playing with Tasker. The first profile I created is the GPS - Maps profile, that enables GPS when Maps is launched

New Context > "Navi" > Application > Maps

New Task [+] > Tasker > If: %GPS~off

+ > App > Go Home

+ > Misc. > GPS: Set: ON

+ > Task > Wait > 50ms

+ > App > Load App > Maps

+ > Task > End If

http://tasker.wikidot.com/navigationgps

Everything works as expected, when maps is started, GPS is turned on, it takes couple of second for gps to get a fix meanwhile maps display a warning message that gps needs to be on , but once skipped and GPS fix is available, maps can locate my location fine.

Exiting Maps, disables GPS correctly.

PROBLEM:

After couple of hours, checking battery for application usage. I noticed that Maps was first on the list, clicking for more information, CPU time was a minute or so but GPS was X hours/minutes/Seconds (X the amount of time since maps was first launched) . GPS is still disabled, maps is not running, but GPS timer in MAPS battery info keeps increasing.

In order to stop the timer from increasing, I need to either reboot or disable tasker, manually enable GPS , start Maps, close maps and disable GPS.

Have you guys seen this before? I believe it's cosmetic as I didn't notice battery drain, but the battery statistic is all messed up.

Any suggestion?

Thanks.

Ill get to the point

My SD Unmounts, im on an R800x, using Gin2Blur.

Its not the back cover, I turned the Safe SD off.

It wont unmount if im running something off it like a app or song.

When it does unmount it either tells me an app isnt installed or its getting an Unknown Error and then the Force Close pop-up.

Doesnt always remount immediately, usually involves me taking it out of the slott and putting it back in.

or just restarting the phone.

Thanks for any help.

badass Idea! I'd pay for that... even a cheap light guide clear pen with an led in the handle would be sick as fzuck!

Better hurry up on that patent application - we are going to a first to file regime next month - discontinuing the first person to invent!?! Your publication might might trigger a 1 year grace period 1/22/2014... but still. :)

This seems like more of a design patent though vs. utility.

Those pictures of lightsabre pens attached might make some damn good prior art. ;)

WHILE not a lightsaber pen - check out the yespen-s1 plus ... it's only really marketed in Korea... but it's on ebay sometimes for about $50... stylus, real ink, usb sdhc memory stick, bluetooth headset, handsfree, and a2dp (earpiece, speakerphone loudspeaker, 3.5mm headset plug)... would be sick to pipe out lightsaber sounds to the pen so the pen is actually emitting the e.g. "Swoooshzhhhz" Plus it does have a multicolored LED already in it. No accelerometer but the phone could detect strokes on the screen and responsively a2dp push a particular audio file according to speed, length, direction of pen swipe. :)

Over the last couple of days I've been playing around with the Complete Linux Installer app (free version from the market) and found that it wasn't working. After a lengthy support chat with with the developers of the app I figured out that I lost root access somehow, someway. I'm running Th3 Bill's CM 10 (4.1.2) dated 11-27-12. Superuser is obviously still installed as it's a built app for CM 10. Does anyone know how one would regain root access without reflashing and wiping everything? Call me lazy but I don't want to have to set everything back up the way I had it, just too tedious at this point and was hoping for a better, cleaner, easier solution. I do have a backup from about 2 months ago. If I restore from that ackup will that fix my root problem?:confused:
